What its all about:

The Cornwall Harbour Revitalization Project is a community-driven initiative to launch the redevelopment of Cornwall's Harbour, located in the historic Cotton Mills District of Le Village BIA, in order to allow it to become a popular mixed-use destination for residents and visitors alike. This Project proposes that the existing 45,000 sq.ft. metal storage building be converted into a 60,000 sq.ft. commercial, cultural, artistic, and natural destination. Utilizing parts of the existing structure, the architectural plan integrates a complete renovation of the building and its surrounding area. Through this adaptive re-use project, Groupe Renaissance and its partners hope that the Harbour can be transformed into a vibrant attraction for Cornwall and a destination for St. Lawrence Seaway visitors.
